wow that took awhile huh i thought ya had it already and ya figured another way to move it :-) i should be able to make it !

the hard part is going to be getting enough people thru the door :-) the stand was heavy but the tank humm id think to be super safe have 2 on each end and 2 on each side but have 2-4 inside the house to relieve the ones trapped outside ! im skinny but not that skinny heheh

[BOTR]

Heh my tank was about the same weight, and we only used 3 guys........ Do I smell perfume in here?

[BOTR]

Good reason to get togther though. It'd be cool to meet a few more reefers.

[MARSHALL MANN]

so are you comeing or what chris ?

[MARSHALL MANN]

ok who knows for sure they are coming

please let me know so there is enough food and cocktails

oh i forgot you are reefers so beer will do but i will try to have some wine too for you tank, and please be easy on the perfume
lol

thanks in advance
